Is this a C1 or C2 cent.The coin is nice and dark in hand but the scans are not perfect for sure.

Victoria (Vicky, not victory) Cent yes,

what do you mean by " C1/2 " ?

if 1/2 cent then no, there was never such a thing (previous to 1858 there was 1/2 pennies though)

C1 or C2 refers to the Obverse 1 and Obverse 2 (some coin books / websites use this abbreviation)

(Just learned this now looking closer)
The Charlton Guide uses
O for Obverse, R for Reverse
C for 1 Cent, F for 5 Cent, T for 10 Cent, Q for 25 Cent, H for 50 Cent
and then a Number for the Portrait variations
So OC1 would be (obverse - 1 cent - first portrait)

Looks like the post was edited, so if it said "C1/2" before, I agree that could be very confusing Wade.

This is an Obverse 1 (or C1, or OC1) due to the lack of a double chin.

This is an Obverse 1a .. the neck truncation is further from the bead and is rounded. An Obv 1 comes to a point and the truncation just about touches the bead. There were both Obv 1's and 1a's (and Obv 2's) made for 1882 as well as single serif N's for each of them.. There is also an Obv 2/1.
